Meeting with Speaker at Swanage Conservative Club

Wed, Mar 12th 2014 at 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm

This evening's meeting will have a presentation on the Rona Sailing Project which Swanage Rotary has supported for many years.

Timing: 7pm for 7:30
Dress: Smart Casual
Menu: Fish Pie, Fresh Fruit Salad


There will also be a discussion on the Way Forward document postponed from the earlier meeting.

The Rona Sailing Project (formerly Rona Trust - London Sailing Project) is one of the oldest Sail Training organisations in the UK, established for over 50 years.

We ensure that our crews come from a wide variety of social backgrounds: from the well-adjusted, to those in the care of Social and Probation Services, as well as those in between. 

In that time, we have taken over 20,000 young people to sea and given them the experience of a lifetime, greater self-confidence and a new perspective on the world.

Apart from a dedicated full-time team of just four, the Project has 400 volunteers, who are Skippers, Mates, Watch Officers and Watch Leaders. Their active support enables us to touch the lives of a large and disparate group of people, all of whom, in their own way, significantly benefit from an experience at sea.
